Maraya1969's JournalAnyone know of this "Be Active Plus" for sciatica pain? I just saw it. It doesn't make
lick of sense that an acupressure thingy right below your knee would stop sciatica but I don't know everything.
"Introducing BeActive® Plus
The secret is the acupoint pressure pad that applies gentle targeted compression to the trigger point so the pain is turned off. Simply apply BeActive® Plus to the acupressure point on the calf just below your knee.
BeActive® Plus is the easy way to make sciatic nerve pain go away. In fact, it works so well, the FDA Cleared BeActive® Plus as a medical device."

I really want some of the media and/or other Dems to ask these Republicans what they
(The Republican party) has done for the American people? Name on friggin thing that has benefited our citizens.
They've got nothing.
And have a backup plan, because we know how they will say that President Biden has done nothing.
Here are some examples but there are plenty more that this administration has accomplished.
"Rescued the Economy and Changed the Course of the Pandemic.
"Rebuilding our Infrastructure"
.
"Historic Expansion of Benefits and Services for Toxic Exposed Veterans."
"Nearly 11 million jobs have been created since President Biden took office – including 750,000 manufacturing jobs."
"New law to increase law enforcement accountability."
"New laws meant to increase job accountability for police and other members of the DOJ"
"Biden returned the United States to the Paris climate accord which Trump pulled out of, and set a goal of reducing U.S. greenhouse gas emissions 50-52 percent by 2030 compared to 2005 levels."
"US MANUFACTURING, INDUSTRY
Biden and his fellow Democrats pushed through more than $2 trillion in federal spending, much of it aimed at restoring US manufacturing, in bills including the CHIPS, Inflation Reduction Act and an infrastructure bill.
Many of the companies who want a share of that federal spending must comply with a batch of requirements that force industries to make their products in the United States, a move welcomed by labor unions but opposed by trading allies such as the European Union and Mexico.
U.S. manufacturing jobs hit 12.98 million in each of the first three months of this year, the most since 2008, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics."
"crack down on child labor laws"
Reunited 600 children the were kidnapped by the Trump administration, there are still about 1,000 but they continue to look for their families
"banned chokeholds and carotid restraints, unless deadly force is authorized, and limited the use of “no-knock” entries.
"Accreditation Standards: DOJ created first-of-their-kind accreditation standards "
"Guidelines for Emergency Responses to People with Behavioral Health or Other Disabilities: HHS and DOJ jointly developed guidance regarding emergency responses to calls and interactions with people in behavioral or mental health crisis or persons who have disabilities" (This is a great one since so many people who are having a mental health crisis are abused and even killed by cops)
I found this fascinating study that suggests chimerism is much more prevelent
than we thought and also can explain why some people are homosexual or transgendered.
First I do not know how well this is accepted; if it even accepted and it is from about 10 years ago. But I have read about people who have two different genomes in their bodies and we really have no idea how many people that happens to. There was one story of a woman whose children came out with different DNA than they "should have" as her children.
And please, this is just information. I am not trying to be insulting to anyone and I sincerely hope this information is not insulting. I identify as a bisexual woman and I have no idea how I came to be bisexual. It would be interesting to find out though.
Here is a definition of microchimerism - "Microchimerism is defined as the presence of two genetically distinct cell populations in the same individual. It can arise from several causes including the bidirectional transfer of cells between mother and fetus during pregnancy, twin-to-twin transfer in utero, from organ transplantation, and blood transfusion."
Chimera - "A genetic chimerism or chimera (/kaɪˈmɪərə/ ky-MEER-ə or /kɪˈmɪərə/ kə-MEER-ə, also spelled chimaera or chimæra) is a single organism composed of cells with more than one distinct genotype. In animals, this means an individual derived from two or more zygotes, which can include possessing blood cells of different blood types, subtle variations in form (phenotype) and, if the zygotes were of differing sexes, then even the possession of both female and male sex organs[1] (this is just one of many different phenomena that may result in intersexuality). Animal chimeras are produced by the merger of multiple fertilized eggs."
DUAL-GENDER MACRO-CHIMERIC TISSUE DISCORDANCE IS PREDICTED TO BE A SIGNIFICANT CAUSE OF HUMAN HOMOSEXUALITY AND TRANSGENDERISM
Brian P Hanley
ABSTRACT
I present literature evidence that suggests that human chimerism may be quite common, occurring in between 5% and 15% of people. Chimerism has been believed to be rare because it usually presents without visible phenotype. In addition to the documented occurrence of dual gender macrochimeras with true hermaphrodite phenotype, there are reports of the occurrence of other natural human macrochimeras. The literature reviewed in this paper suggests that such macrochimerism is much more common than usually appreciated. Chimerism occurs in a patchy manner, with male cells outgrowing female in macrochimerism causing the majority to be phenotypically male. The literature also suggests that the sex of nervous system tissue is the primary determinant in higher animals of sexual attraction. From this, the existence of human macrochimeras in which large proportions of cells are male and female is predicted to have a correlation with homosexuality and transgender self-identification because in many such cases, the central nervous system, or crucial parts of it, will be of one sex and the gonads and body form will be of the opposite sex. I describe experiments to further clarify this hypothesis, which can also have potential benefit beyond this specific question.

This old man really knows what is going on
https://twitter.com/DanielSeidemann/status/939885411433893894My ailing father - 93 years old, a victim & defeater of Nazism, a right-wing Orthodox Jew - was asked by the physician in the emergency room, seeking to ascertain his cognitive state:
"Who's the President?"
My dad: "You don't want to know".
Jeez, I love my dad.
LeeAnn Tweeden should be investigated for groping men on stage
https://twitter.com/bradley_thunder/status/938853135379988480Now that Al Franken is resigning for groping @LeeannTweeden...
Can we also fire @LeeannTweeden for the numerous sexual assaults she's committed?
Sexual assault against men is still sexual assault.
Don't ignore male victims.

in and nullify it?
The states can Trump Trump's pardons
The States Can Trump Trump’s Pardons: State Prosecutions for Money Laundering, Hacking Conspiracy, Tax Fraud, and More By Jed Shugerman...... the states and the federal government have overlapping but separate sovereignty, and each can bring their own prosecutions for the same acts as long as those acts violate both federal and state law. For example, in the Rodney King case, police officers were found not guilty in California state court, but they were later convicted in federal court for federal crimes that covered the same set of acts....."
(I've only copied the crimes mentioned and not the explanations of what they are and how they apply to the Trump cabal's activities)
-----------------------------
II. Possible state crimes
1. Tax fraud.
----------------
2. Money laundering
---------------------
3. Conspiracy in Computer Hacking (and Stolen Property)
---------------------------
4. Conspiracy to Violate Privacy:
-------------------------------------------
5. Loan fraud and mortgage fraud
----------------------------------
6. Quo Warranto powers - ....... Every state attorney general has the power to investigate “ultra vires” wrongdoing by corporations in their state and to dissolve those corporations, as a modern extension of the English “quo warranto” writ. Delaware and New York can investigate the Trump Organization for emoluments, as the Trump Organization is incorporated in those states.

The GOP tax scam has a "person-hood" bit that furthers their attempts at anti-woman and anti-choice
On page 93 of the “tax bill” Republicans are trying to redefine what constitutes an unborn child as the moment of conception. The tax code is no place to slip in something that could be used to outlaw abortion. A yes vote on this is anti-women & anti-choice.

From Snopes.com regarding this: Thanks to still_one
https://www.snopes.com/gop-tax-bill-fetal-personhood-legislation/
Placing this language in the bill is a strategic political effort that further highlights an escalating trend and effort to constrain and curtail full reproductive health and rights of American women. […] The term used in the bill, “unborn,” is not a medical or scientific distinction, but a political one. Politicians are now seeking to grant the “unborn” legal rights, but primarily in relation only to women. […]
Substantively, these efforts not only seek to grant legal rights and identities to embryos and fetuses, but they also seek to frame a conflict of interest between women, endowed with constitutional rights, and an embryo or fetus such that legislators will claim there is no difference in the legal status between a pregnant woman and fetus.
